Summer Fun!

The kids are having a great summer playing on the playground, creating arts and crafts projects, going on field trips to the zoo, aquarium, children's museum, aquatic center, as well as to local parks, beaches and lakes. Ah, to be a kid again!!!

Genie Industries Volunteer Group

Genie Industries, a Terex Company, spent the day doing yard work yesterday. Each month Genie Industries focuses on a different company value, for July that value is Citizenship. Throughout the month the company provides various ideas and opportunities for being a good citizen – of which volunteering is key component. They were an amazing and hard working group, they cleared two truck loads of yard waste from our property! This was so helpful for us in creating a more nurturing environment for our residents.

New Life Church: The Crossing

On Saturday June 20 a volunteer group from New Life Church's The Crossing came out to help with some yard work. They spent the entire morning weeding and filled up the back of the Vision House truck with yard debris. They made a huge impact with helping us create a more nurturing environment for our resident families! Thank you New Life Church!!!

Raking has never been so fun!

Our Vision House Children’s Village kids had fun with volunteers John and Mike raking the new chips into their play area. There was some great teamwork going on! Two of the girls even shared a rake and worked together to spread the chips. The play area is almost complete – they can’t wait to climb on the jungle jim!
